Translated by Mary Martin Holliday.
Seven minimal tales with cartoonish storyboard illustrations feature Jules the Zert, the Brick (his love object), Ned the Nail, and the other nonhuman inhabitants of DeZert Isle. This French import works because of the play between its absurd situations and deadpan prose ("[Jules] loves to offer a hippopotamelon to the Brick"), although only mature kids--and immature adults--will get the jokes.
